2000 CLK430 Benz convertible, all new stereo

I'm getting ready to tear apart this car and install a Apline HU along with a pair of 6.5 components  and 5.25 in the doors. All with be ran off a 4 ch amp, there is a 12" sub i'm installing in the trunk as well. There is a PAC steering wheel control interface I may need help on, but that shouldn't be a problem.

My question is regarding the door panel removal.??? IT has beautiful gray ash wood trim that I would hate to crack, plus this owner would crack my head if I did.

 So if any of you have had any problems with these cars or have some tips that could save me some time it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Figured it out on my own, for those reading this in the future with the same question...

First, remove the tweeter pod by gently pulling straight out by the top corner, it is held in with one snap lock.

Second, remove the phillip screw from the cover over the door lock/clasp, also there is a chrome cover above it that is held in with three phillipss, remove them as well. Remove the covers.

Third, the tricky part. There is a SRS badge toward the top back side of the panel, this little thing will pop out using your fingernails.  This cover hides phillips screw, remove it.

Fourth, the door handle itself is two piece. The vinyl front piece is snapped on, remove it to uncover yet another hidden phillip screw.

Last, the outer sides and bottom of the panel is held in with snaps, start one with a removal tool or screw driver, the rest will unsnap by pulling on the panel with your hands. Like most all panels you must lift it up and out of the top channel.  The door handle is connected via cable so don't worry about bending any rods.
